Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) regulate blood and lymphatic vessel development and homeostasis. VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) is the major receptor involved in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis and regulates endothelial cell survival, migration, and mitogenesis. Ligand-mediated receptor dimerization instigates transmembrane signaling, thereby promoting activation of the intracellular kinase domain. The...
